So I see. So it's not just a question of a script removing itself from
memory at the point where control passes, it's 'exit' as we see. Still,
the question of who gets control is there -- the computer does not shut
off. But again, that question would be there anyway so 'exec' doesn't
make the question any more difficult. I guess as far as zsh is
concerned that's as much as can be said.
